, WHEN YOU ARE SICK
It doesn't take a good doctor to
tell you that most anybody could
do that much, but to tell exactly
the nature of the disease some
times calls for the utmost skill of
the physician; Most anybody by a
few simple tests coi'ld tell that
your eyesight was defctive and
that you needed glasses of som
kind, but to diagnose the exact
trouble an! fit the right glasses
calls for more than ordinary skill.
We have made that one thing, a
lifetime study and we are In busi
ness to bring wrong eyes and right
glasses together.' High-class work
at the. lowest possible prices.

What will irrigation on the district
plan cost the first year? -This
is the question that is being
asked at every turn and one that the
promoters of the La Grande district tro,t durln6 the time of the conven-
are very desirous of having impressed
on the men in the proposed district
The answer to the query can be
. answered very conservatively as be
, ing between 1.50 and . $5.00." Using
figures rather roughly, it requires but
little manipulation of the numerals to
ascertain what the probable cost will
be the first year. Providing the dis
trict is bonded for $500,000. which is
Just $100,000 higher than any known
estimate of cost of, construction
there will be 35,000 acres In the dis
trict irrigated. The Interest payable
the first year amounts to $30,000, If.
the bond Issue is a half-million. Then
ther is maintenance and office ex
pense to be added to this, bringing
the total to less than a million dol
lars for each acre of land to be irri
gated the first year. A slight main
tenance fee will be charged. With
these figures as a premise, and the
fact known that all the land will not
be taxed the same, it becomes an easy
at Wood Berry's store, and there was
a conversation held there. Berry
phoned to me to come up to the store.
I was introduced to Morgan by Ber
ry. This is the man that got whis
key at your store.' I heard Morgan
on the witness stand. I didn't say, 'I
don't know why J did it, after the
trial I Just got out of.' I didn't say
anything as to the amount of the cost
of the trial; I didn't say that I guess
nothing could be' done as the indict
ments were in. Morgan did say
something like this, 'That a man
should quit selling liquor; that it is
bad for cats and dogs, and that he has
learned it in a medical college.' He
didn't say, 'If I had any assurance
that you would quit the business be
fore the indictments had been turned
in.' He did say, though, something to
the effect that if he had it to do over
again, he wouldn't, but now it was
too late. If I did bay 'what I could
say Morgan would do all that he
could,' I might have Bald that when
I was three or four years old, but not
since. I don't know what he could
have meant. I don't even think
said that when I was three or four
years old. I haven't the remotest idea
of saying that My mind is not
blank on that or any other proposi-
i tlon. If I did say it, I don't remem
ber it and I have no vague, wander

I have been in the drug business
since 1888, and have been proprietor
and manager of the Newlln drug com
pany for two years. Oh, I know Mor

with him. June 1, was Wednesday
and I am off duty every Wednesday
and Friday evening from 6:30 in the
evening and every other Sunday. I

the possibility of ascertaining the def

Wednesday or Friday evening. I was
home, for my wife was sick. No, I
didn't sell Ben Morgan that bottle of
liquor; he never gave me 50 cents
entirely different circumstances.'
I remember dates for the year that
that I was away from the store, every
Wednesday end Friday evenings, un
less the clerks were on a vacation,
Including the Jst of the month. On
the first, I am always away,5 if it
comes on Wednesday or Friday, at
6:30, and the sooner me better. I knew
Charles Baker; I have seen Mr. Mor
gan but don't know him yet and don't
think T am getting acquainted with
him. When Berry phoned me to come
down. I didn't know why; I didn't
expect to meet Morgan. Berry left
right away nad we talked Just a few
minutes. He talked of the indictments
and did all the talking. He Raid he
had tried alcohol on cats and dogs,
and asked me not to sell it in a wet
or dry town. 1 had not met him be
fore'. I don't know If he bought sup
plies In March. I don't know of talk
ing to him on June 1. I know Wbrs
tell and Porter, but I don't know
Mr. Gray. I never met him. I didn't
sell that bottle of liquor to Morgan
on June 1. I was not at the store on
that evening."
Ed Eckley was on the stand next:
"I am acquainted with A. Newlln.
The positions of the counters are the
same as they were on June 1, or they
seem the same. There has been no
essential change that I have noticed.
I last examined the condition of the
counters this evening and they are
the same as June 1. I am Justified in
saying that they do not vary In loca
tion three Inches in that time.In look
ing in at the depot door on Adams
avenue from the edge of the sidewalk
this evening and at other times from
the same position in .front of the pre
scription case. I could not see a clerk
back of the counter and the man In
front of the counter, because a per
son can't see on account of the lo
cation of the door and. the angle of
vision won't go around the corner of
a wall, or building or side of a door,
and there is no change in the loca
tion of these since June 1."
On cross examination he stated: "I
have not made an investigation be
fore this evening. A person standing
on the outer side of the sidewalk !a
front of the rear door could not see
a person making a purchase there."
Court adjourned until 9 a. m. this
morning.
